You can get it a href="http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2amp;childpagename=US%2FLayoutamp;cid=1166859843775amp;packedargs=sku%3D1115416827517amp;pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapperamp;lid=4377527517B03amp;displaypage=download"here/a.br /Unpack the file and get the needed driver, in this case it's span style="font-weight: bold;"WUSB54G.inf/spanbr /span style="font-weight: bold;"Step 2:/span Download necessary packages. span style="font-weight: bold;"ndiswrapper-utils/span and span style="font-weight: bold;"ndiswrapper-common/span using span style="font-weight: bold;"Synaptic Package Manager/span or using the span style="font-weight: bold;"apt-get/span command in terminal.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Step 3:/span The easiest way to install the driver file is to first copy into your home folder (/home/username/).
